We will be in Ortigia for 3 nights - 2.5 days May 2023 . We will do the RS walk and explore Ortigia and the Archaeological Park.
Just wondering if anyone has recently taken the Blue Marlin boat tour and was it worth it.
I cannot find anything on their website to indicate how long this is and what the price would be.
Any information would be appreciated.

It’s a nice ride, though not especially spectacular. The best part is where they’ll take you out to the nearby coastline and into some grottos/caves. The trip around Ortigia itself is kind of dull. You’re mostly looking at stone walls. There’s another tour that just goes around the island, I’d avoid that one. They depart regularly, and/or if they get enough people I suspect. I don’t recall the price, but it was very reasonable. It wasn’t too long, 1-1/2 hours?
Basically, if you’re there, the weather is good and you’re feeling it, then go for it. Otherwise, don’t feel bad about skipping.
